You will need the latest Saitek profile software to use it, and I recommend downloading JoyControl as well, to get the most out of the X52.

Howdy IZT,

I hope you have fun with the X-52, I have the X-52 pro and I just love it.

A few tips that I have learned:

1.) Absolutely always use the same USB port every time you plug it in. always. A failure to do so may result in you having to "purge" your system of anything saitek related and re-installing the driver

2.) Use the latest drivers/sst software from the saitek website, not what came with the CD

3.) Learn to use the SST programming software and "modes" rathe than assigning all the buttons on the stick/throttle in game.

4.) As suggested above, get and use IL2 Joy Control and experiment to find what you think are the best sensitivity settings for you. After a few weeks and you are used to the stick, revisit these and see if your preferences have changed. IL2 joy control makes it a snap to tailor your sensitivity settings to a particular plane.

There was recently a thread in the community help section and I talk at length about a few aspects of setting up the stick: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/49310655/m/6921010486
